      But this is intentional, by the scientists, in order to get ahead of a potential problem. Permafrost will, continually, thaw because of climate change. Thus, scientists are trying to stave off any severe viral outbreaks.

    Wild! Hopefully analysis will help to prevent absolute wreckage on the population.
